Carl tried hard to throw the rest of the people in the mecha out, but he found it difficult to control the strength.

In the end, everyone fell into the collapsed earth together.

At this time, Carl no longer cared about the gold in his right hand.

Throwing the gold in the mecha's hand, he quickly placed the rest of his companions in his hands on the shoulders of the mecha, and then controlled the floating cannon behind him to emit nitrogen, allowing himself to move closer to the rock wall of the sinking area.

The iron palm grabbed the rock at once, and under the influence of gravity acceleration, deep grooves were created on the rock wall.

This greatly reduced the mecha's falling speed, but they continued to fall.

This situation lasted for about ten minutes. When Carl felt that his mecha had fallen at least several kilometers, he suddenly felt that the mecha's feet were empty.

Some strange force seemed to be pulling at the mecha, trying to move it and the rest of the people on it to other areas underground.

Carl tried his best to climb up and maintain his current position, but the rock he was holding on to could not bear his and everyone else's weight, and he fell into the ground along with them.

At the moment of falling, Carl felt that he had crossed a certain boundary.

By the time everyone recovered from that strange feeling, the whistling wind was ringing in their ears. The strong feeling of weightlessness made people feel as if their internal organs were out of their previous positions.

Looking up, the collapsed area where I should have been able to see the sky has disappeared.

Everyone knew that they had just experienced a space transfer and were now underground in an unknown area of ​​Xen'drik.

Carl quickly changed the mecha from an upright position to a crawling position. The wind resistance caused by his huge body slowed down his falling speed slightly.

The lava river rapidly expanded under the gaze of everyone. When Carl felt that everyone should have reached a certain height, he immediately released the Feather Fall Technique.

Except for him, everyone else's fall turned into floating, while the mecha continued to fall rapidly downwards.

"Tsk! We must greatly improve the mecha's flying ability in the future!"

Carl hammered the operating table in front of him, suppressed the heartache, and left the mecha.

“Plop!”

The mecha fell into the hot magma. Although Carl was confident that the fruits of his labor would not be destroyed by the temperature of the magma, damage was inevitable.

After restarting the flying technique, Carl gradually controlled his body in mid-air, and then flew towards the people who were still falling.

As if pulling a hydrogen balloon, Carl pulled everyone and flew towards the seemingly solid ground below.

When it was about to land, Carl was the first to release compressed nitrogen to cool down the ground.

"You could have just ejected directly from the mecha and used the flying technique to return to the ground."

After taking a few breaths with lingering fear, Bain stated this solution with a complicated expression.

Carl took off the helmet of his power armor and said in a very tough tone: "Are you kidding me? How could I just abandon you and run away? If it weren't for me, you would all be smashed into pulp now!"

Carl looked around as he spoke.

The underground environment is not too dark, and the orange-gold light emitted by the lava looks quite bright.

Following the light emitted by the lava rivers and looking further into the distance, Carl saw something that could be called a spectacle.

It was a huge volcano with countless lava rivers flowing from all over the mountain.

It stretched straight up to the top of the huge cave and may even have protruded to the surface.

"The power of nature is truly amazing!"

It was rare for Carl to express his heartfelt admiration for the magnificent scenery.

"Be careful. We have entered the Underdark now. This is the territory of the drow. Strong young men like you are the favorites of those fierce and ferocious guys."

As a conservative who does not go along with the mainstream drow, Scorpion made a joking remark.

The feeling of returning to her hometown made her feel a little warm, but she knew that this was just an illusion created by living things after returning to a familiar place.

Even before the drow became corrupted by their strange beliefs, the Underdark controlled by the drow was not a friendly place.

However, Ying and Hope's reactions to this statement were even greater than Carl's.

As if to make their attitude clear, they stood directly on both sides of Karl, looking as if they would not allow anyone else to get close.

After finding a relatively spacious place, Carl activated his special ability and summoned the mecha that had fallen into the lava lake.

The long-term high temperature burned the flammable materials on the mecha, and only the metal in the middle of the truck-shaped wheels was left.

Looking at the surroundings, Carl shrugged.

"It looks like we can't move forward as easily as before. Let's leave the mecha here and find a way out."

After finally finding a way out of the giant ruins, they fell into the dark area of ​​the underground world before they could even get out.

Carl felt that his adventure seemed to be quite disastrous.

Pointing to a black area in the direction of the volcano, Ying rarely expressed his opinion.

Anyway, it has come to this now, Carl immediately made a decision and decided to go to the Obsidian City, which is suspected to be one of the three major forces of the drow.

Although this cave is full of lava rivers, surprisingly, the air around it is not difficult to breathe, except that it is a little hot.

The lava just flowed quietly, like blood or something like that.

It is said that a horse will die if it is over-watched. After walking for more than 6 hours, everyone finally realized this deeply.

The volcano looked close, but when we actually walked there, it took so long to get there.

This gave everyone a deeper understanding of the size of this cave.

Carl summoned the mecha again, transformed it into a truck, and let everyone get in to rest.

The floating gun continuously released compressed nitrogen to lower the surrounding temperature, allowing everyone to have a good sleep.

However, when he thought about having to continue trekking in such a hot environment after getting up tomorrow, Carl couldn't help but use his brain and planned to get a few tires for the truck that were not afraid of flames and high temperatures to try.

…

“Crash~”

Thunderous Sea, Sunshine.

In the luxurious private room, Nia and the other two were lying on a large bed, sleeping with relaxed expressions.

They had spent three days at sea.

After seeing the magnificence of the sea and its violent storms, the sea no longer had any appeal to them, so the three of them just stayed in the room and slept.

At first, Nia was a little worried that the ship would sink in a storm, so she prepared many preventive props.

As a result, after a few days, the ship was sailing very smoothly.

If nothing goes wrong, the ship will be able to dock in Storm Bay this evening.

After all, this is a ship driven by the Storm Dragon Pattern Family, and its speed is certainly not comparable to that of ordinary ships.

Speaking of which, the ship was able to set sail thanks to Joanna.

Because she drove away the noble of Throne Castle, many nobles without fiefs developed an interest in Storm Bay that was not in line with their abilities.

As a result, many nobles who had status but no real power jointly hired the Storm Dragonmark Family and prepared to go to Storm Bay to try their luck.

The failure of the noble from Throne Castle did not bother them. Before clearly realizing his own worth, which young nobleman did not think that he was the man of destiny?

Especially after hearing that it was a noble girl who currently controlled Storm Bay, many noble girls with lofty ambitions felt that they could also show their talents in this chaotic place, so they embarked on the journey.

Although Nia is not a noble, her father is now a powerful figure in the Andair intelligence department. After a brief communication with the Brook Kingdom, he found a cabin for his daughter and her companions.

In the ship's cabin, an old half-elf with white hair in his hair was holding a dragon-patterned artifact called the "Feng Shui Wheel", making the ship move quickly in the waves.

He had a cigar in his mouth, and as he breathed, a little blue smoke came out from his mouth and nose.

Just as he was enjoying a deep puff of his cigar, a younger half-elf knocked on the door twice and then walked in.

"Captain! The lookout has sighted the port. It looks like we can reach Storm Bay sooner than expected."

The young half-elf looked very happy, but the captain glanced at him and sighed helplessly.

"Are you really not going back with me? The situation in Storm Bay is still unclear. There is no need for you to sacrifice your youth for the so-called opportunity."

Hearing this from his master who had taught him for nearly three years, the young half-elf's originally happy expression suddenly turned gloomy.

"I'm sorry, Master, but I want to do something."

After a moment of silence, the captain sighed again, but still used his experience of more than a hundred years of life to warn: "Don't reveal your ambitions when you get there. The artificer who actually controls Storm Bay is not interested in this, but the power is indeed in his hands.

In this case, it is better for you to start from the grassroots and integrate into the current regime of Storm Bay instead of going against it.

We half-elves have longer lifespans than humans. As long as you have enough patience, you will eventually get your turn even if you have to wait for seniority. By then, you will still be young."

The young half-elf bowed respectfully to the slightly old half-elf captain, kept the words in mind, and then left the cabin.

Outside, those pretentious young nobles gathered in the ship's living room and held an elegant banquet.

The fantasy drama that has been very popular in Aundair recently was playing in the field. Everyone dreamed of returning to their hometown with honors after "starting from scratch" in Storm Bay, with a smile of confidence on their faces.

No one felt that their actions were essentially reaping the fruits of someone else's victory, just as they did not realize that as a noble with an empty title, they had no right to command the common people and adventurers to do things for them.
